Gerber's organic rice and oatmeal cereals recalled

The state Health Department is warning parents of young children of a recall of Gerber Organic Rice and Organic Oatmeal cereals because of a potential choking risk.

A limited quantity of the baby food may contain lumps of cereal that won’t dissolve in water or milk and pose a potential choking hazard. Gerber has received complaints about children choking, but not reports of injury.

Consumers with either cereal product should not use it and should call the Gerber Parents Resource Center 1-800-443-7237 or 1-231-928-3000 to return the product and receive a full refund. For more details about the recall, see the announcement on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Web site.
